4 GiNaC (which stands for "GiNaC is Not a CAS" (computer algebra system)) is a
5 C++ library for symbolic mathematical calculations. It is designed to allow
6 the creation of integrated systems that embed symbolic manipulations together
7 with more established areas of computer science (like computation-intense
8 numeric applications, graphical interfaces, etc.) under one roof.
